Your house or apartment doesn't have to have grand architecture or be done to the nines to be considered. Small and modest is great. Budget decorating is great. The key components are creativity and freshness.

Hell, you don't even have to show off your whole place -- I'd love to see a single room, a completed renovation project, or even a small area that you've decorated and are particularly proud of.

I'm about to complete a total overhaul of my bathroom using nothing but cunning,courage, and my own two hands right down to a home sewn shower curtain. My sources (me) have led me to believe that the project will be nothing short of a genius driven miracle. I'll submit pictures when I finish to see if they pass muster.

These frames were found in my parents basement, the chest of drawers that was saved from bulk trash day from the neighbor, we actually turned it into a bar, and the artwork is from etsy and framed. Nothing terribly fancy, but the only cost was the spraypaint, sanding paper, and drawer pulls for everything... and a whole lot of elbow greese!

there are also a few more pictures of the interior of the living room.

But seriously, I will take all comers, as long as you've done something creative and eye-catching with your space. (Actually, those homes are often the *most* inspiring, since they have elements that anyone can try, no matter what their budget.)

Gosh. I'm suffering a crisis of confidence having my house rejected and seeing all these other beauties up here. I believe I shall go paint then slit my wrists. (Kidding.) I did repaint the dining room and love it, so thanks for the impetus, I think.
